Coffee ice cubes, in my coffee!? GENIUS! I ordered a vanilla caramel iced latte and was blown away, it was smooth, with the right milk ratio, without watering it down - thanks to the coffee ice. Starbucks, go get a job, this is where coffee deserves to live. I'm so glad Sweet Beans chose to set up here so close to base, we needed something with a little more charm than another major coffee Corp. Also - let's talk about beer. They have a pour it yourself station with lots of local favorites, I didn't get to try but will do so in my next visit! One last thing. Let's talk about kolaches. Never knew what the word even meant before coming here, but as all the other reviews raved about it, I got involved. I love almost anything associated with pastries, and this was no different. Amazing! This new peninsula gem is AWESOME. 100% will return. read more

Very cute little coffee shop with great paintings on the wall. They have plenty of seating and even have some games if you want to relax and play a few. I'm a Latte girl so I love a coffee shop that has a menu of latte ideas. We got The Island and Maria. Both were great! read more

I am not a fan of coffee or espresso; as a matter of fact, I hate them both besides the smell. I am a caffeine fan though. And I am generally a fan of any place that serves breakfast items all day... I am still new to the area and someone recommended Sweet Beans (SB). I was totally shocked by the inside--I thought it would be similar to the Chinese spot next door. I was pleasantly surprised that SB was so spacious and spread out. The staff were very helpful, nice, and patient--I don't always know what I want, and they were able to understand my preferences as well as what I was looking for. I decided on the Breakfast Burrito with veggies, sausage, and bacon with mild sauce and a Fruit Bomb with strawberry and blueberry. The Fruit Bomb... mmmmmmm! It was creamy and great-tasting. (I wonder what it would taste like with a milk alternative like a coconut milk) It gave me that energy pop I was looking for. I will definitely be getting another one. The Breakfast Burrito was... one of the best I've ever had. And they get extra points for the fresh salsa. It wasn't spicy enough but that was my fault--I chickened out of getting the hot sauce. I'll be back!!! read more

I had uber eats deliver my food.... I cant wait to visit this coffee bar. I don't like brownies, but theirs is to die for. The coffee was average, the sandwich was tasty, and the oatmeal blueberry cookie does not look good, but taste great! We ordered 3 coffees and a peach tea.... One of the coffees taste like cream only all the other drinks were good read more

I'm so glad to finally see a locally owned coffee shop near my home and work. I stopped by this morning for a cup of Joe to check out this new addition to our neighborhood. The coffee was good and the staff friendly. I'll be going back. read more

Great coffee, great atmosphere, and great service. Our favorite place to stop in the mornings!

I ordered a raspberry iced latte with almond milk. Couldn't even taste the raspberry and the coffee was watered down with so much oat milk. I was disappointed in the coffee, but I would go back based on the friendly welcoming atmosphere and the food. Will be giving it another try. read more

Was very pleased with our visit to Sweet Beans. I was worried about the food & drink options, since I am whole food plant based and they were able to make me a smoothie with just the frozen fruits and oat milk. My day liked it because she was able to get exactly what she wanted as well. The service was outstanding and the ambiance was so relaxing. We will definitely be back. read more

A-MAZiNG. I have never been disappointed when I go to Sweet Beans. I love that their iced coffees have coffee ice cubes that allow your ice to melt without diluting the coffee. They also have a good variety of coffee and snacky foods. read more

Sweet Beans has never disappointed. We normally grab a coffee/latte to go, but before Covid, we have eaten in a couple of times. Love the latte! The soup is also very good, simple, but full of flavor. My husband still talks about it and it's been a minute since we've tried it. Their wall art decor is unique and interesting. The service is amazing and professional. I need to go back soon! read more

Ordered a bagel and hot chocolate, then got told "no outside food and drinks" because I was still carrying my morning coffee from Starbucks. I can understand trying to dissuade loafers from hanging out, but to cop that attitude to a PAYING customer is unnecessarily rude and self defeating. Won't be back. Too bad, because I would rather support a small business than a megachain. Edit: Points for owner response read more

This place is great! they have great events every week and the coffee is amazing. Don;t listen to the negative reviews here. We have been bringing our group here for years now and it has always been high quality and great services in a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Sweet Beans Coffee Bar is a unique location for coffee, wine and beer. The location offers board and card games for anyone to use. It's a laid back environment to enjoy personal down time and chat with friends / family. Self-sufficient kid friendly. I don't recommend taking energetic toddlers as there is not a lot for them to do; older kids who can entertain themselves or join in on a conversation are appropriate. The wine, mead and beer selection is limited, but they offer a variety. I personally enjoyed their chocolate beer with a family friend while sitting back and solving world problems for an hour. They also offer events, such as the painting class. Good date night material. I recommend Sweet Bean. They have something for most people. read more

Best coffee if you live in poquoson! Only downsides are the parking lot situation and it's pretty pricey! Employees are super friendly and easy to talk to and the inside has a very open and light atmosphere. I have racked up hundreds of points just from exclusively getting the large hot mocha. Wish they could expand to their own building and parking lot! read more

The guy with the ponytail makes the perfect chai latte! I've been coming here for a while and his is perfect every time. The temperature, flavor everything is perfect.. he should share his secret with the other baristas. The burritos here are excellent as well. Awesome coffee shop! read more

Came to visit from California, and had not found any good coffee around here until my daughter brought me here. Great lattes not watered down and they use my favorite syrups too. read more

Amazing coffee!!! I visited Sweet Bean around a week ago and I was blown away by my coffee!! I ordered the vanilla caramel iced latte, it was sweet but not to sweet and the coffee was bold and strong. Coffee ice cubes were added so that was definitely a plus! I also ordered sausage and cheese kolaches; it was my first time trying them and they were warm, savory, and delicious! The host was so friendly, I'll definitely be back!! read more

Sweet Beans Coffee Bar - Caramel vanilla iced latte with kolache - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I love this little hole in the wall. Much better than Starbucks! They have great coffee drinks and i love their breakfast burritos

Tried this place for the first time. Wasn't impressed by the coffee or tea that I ordered. Both tasted watered down. Had a hard time trying to find flavor. The atmosphere is great and the girl working was very nice, but if I had to rate based off the quality of taste it's a 2 out 5 stars. read more

The coffee is delish!! I got the cannoli cream and it's amazing. Please go visit their coffee shop! And they use coffee as ice cubes!

Ive come here a few times now and the service is always outstanding. The staff is so friendly and the drinks are delicious. The unique thing about sweet beans is that they have almost combined the feel of a new wave brewery with a full coffee bar. I love that i can wake up have my coffee and kolache, grab a beer or wine in one sitting. They are family friendly with plenty of open seating, games to boot in the corner lounge. Five stars for cleanliness, atmosphere, staff and above all quality you can taste. I will gladly drive out of my way to come and lounge. Will continue to spread the magic that is sweet beans. Hoping they add more to the food menu in the future, the specialty drinks is abundant especially if you do not know what to choose from. Ive been slowly going down the list, i have alot to go~ read more

Sweet Beans Coffee Bar - Coffee and beer - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Hampton has been NEEDING a local coffee shop and Sweet Beans is a breath of fresh air from all the Starbucks around. The only time I've been in was to grab a cup of coffee so I can't talk much for their food or beer/wine/cider option (don't worry I'll be back for that!) but the fresh brewed coffee was good. It held good flavor and wasn't overly strong but a good amount of kick. It's a hidden gem that will be getting a lot more traction. Despite it's tucked away location it's worth the drive over there. For all you NASA people it's in a great location for you so don't pass it up! I'm excited to go back and try their pour your own wine/beer/cider wall :) read more

I've been here twice already and both times I've enjoyed it! The staff is knowledgeable and kind and the place is always clean. So far I've gotten their peach iced tea, iced mocha, a chocolate chip cookie (which was one of the best cookies!), chocolate chip muffin, and egg and bacon breakfast burrito. All was amazing except for the burrito (hence why a star is missing). There was just something about it that made it taste like it was just a warmed up egg they premade and a lot of bacon (which I love bacon but it just added way too much salt). I still ate most of it but I wouldn't get it again. Overall I still would highly recommend Sweet Beans and can't wait to try more of what they have! read more

Eh coffee place and bleh coffee. Large seating area though rather plain. They also have beer and wine. The scone - white chocolate cranberry - was really good. read more

This is hands down my favorite coffee shop in Hampton area. The workers are always so nice and helpful and always offer suggestions if your not sure what to order. I love that they have a bar area..they have some awesome and tasty local craft beers and wines that are self pour taps. And the coffee is amazing and never disappoints they use coffee ice cubes which is brilliant. I highly recommend trying Sweet Beans. read more

the young man working the front counter doesn't know what he is doing. customer service skills are terrible and he s got a big mouth.10-10-2024 read more

This is a cute little shop that is amazing! From the amazing coffee to the friendly employees, it's a great place! I've been there almost every day for my visit to Hampton, VA. I have gotten the caramel latte both hot and cold and it is amazing! For cold drinks they use coffee cubes so it doesn't water down! Love this place! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

This isn't my favorite coffee shop in the area because I don't love the coffee. I wish I did. I still come here often because it is still good. There's just something about the syrups that I don't like as much as other places, however, this is my family's favorite coffee shop in the area. The staff here is awesome, and they seem to do a lot of events such as paint-a-longs and other things which is really cool. They also have board games and a lot of seating. read more

Forfront: I'm not really much of a coffee drinker. I dont even have my own coffee maker. That being said, Sweet Beans makes me want to drink a cup of coffee every day of the week. Its a fifteen minute drive and I'd gladly every day just get a fresh brew cup of local roast and a flaky pastry. Oh man, the pastries. Sweet, but definitely not too sweet, they are the perfect compliment to whatever you get; whether its one of their many specialty blends or a regular black coffe. They even get death wish coffee in on mondays, which is by far my favorite brand. If you like coffee you owe it to yourself to stop in. Thats not even mentioning the actual place, read more

Super sweet staff, and the coffee was great. I went around 4 pm and was able to comfortably work on homework for a few hours. I would quickly recommend them to anyone! read more

Coffee is water with some coffee flavoring. Its not very good. I feel they don't portion their coffee grounds out for the amount of water correctly read more

Realized I had never left a review and need to fix that mistake, especially to try and balance out negative reviews about mask manadates that have nothing to do with the business (personally appreciate their diligence during a pandemic). Been coming here since open, it has only gotten better and better. Staff is really what makes this my go to spot for a pick me up or quick snack. Oh, and coffee ice cubes for all iced drinks really seals the deal. And.... Online ordering + pick-up when in a hurry. read more

Greatest new spot around ! The coffee is fantastic and my fav drink on the wall is Traffic Jam, it's like a rush of Berry's in your mouth! So delicious !! Come in and experience a wonderful atmosphere. read more

Excellent atmosphere, great coffee and an amazing staff of employees. You must try the Kolache, it's a twist on the classic breakfast sandwich and it will absolutely blow you away. Their ice is made of coffee! (That means they really care about the whole experience) even after you leave. You'll have a really hard time finding any place like this any where else near by. Just stop reading and go! read more

Checked out this cafe near a family member's place. Love the cafe atmosphere, the food and coffee were great. Looking forward to returning!

Cute little place! Enjoyed the selection of ciders on tap. Look forward to returning.

I stan for mom and pop shops, but not all are created equal. I was honestly a bit insulted that I've lived in this area, working down the street from this gem for over a year and didn't know about it...but rest assured Yelpers, they've only been open for about two weeks. I just happened to find this place while perusing yelp (the usual) and decided that I would check it out. The coffee shop has a very interesting concept, a very cool and relaxed vibe. They've got a lot going on with some interesting murals and chalkboard walls. The first thing you see when you enter is the wall of self-serve beer. They have ample seating and some of the bar-style seats have plugs for electronics, which is always a plus. It would also be nice if the lower tables also had plugs in case someone was working on something, they wouldn't have to move. I ordered a vanilla-caramel iced latte (think Starbucks caramel macchiato). This latte was phenomenal. It wasn't too sweet, wasn't watery, wasn't bitter...it was delicious, the perfect midday pick me up. You could taste the caramel, the vanilla, and the coffee all in perfect harmony. To top it off, they use coffee ice cubes! I haven't seen that since my favorite cafe in OC, California! Even though I didn't drink the coffee right away, it still tasted amazing and not watered down. I loved the coffee and the environment so much I came again the same evening with my husband. I got a hot Springberry tea and my husband helped himself to the beers. We also ordered jalapeño poppers and paninis. We thoroughly enjoyed it all. I love that it's super quiet and you can still get work done while enjoying a coffee, tea, or beer. I hope it continues to stay this way because honestly I really love it. In just two days, I've been to this awesome coffee shop three times. It's great that it opens early and closes late, very accommodating. It doesn't hurt that the customer service is also superb. Check out this place if you need a place to work and just chill out! I'll definitely be back again. read more

Excellent!!! We will make this a regular part of Our mornings now. We had the sausage and bacon breakfast burritos, which were delicious. Their coffee and lattes were also exceptional. We love supporting local businesses and this is a GREAT one!! read more

Just started getting sweet beans due to their delivery service during all of the craziness that is 2020 and we've been trying to support small businesses in this time. But seriously, they have a new regular customer, the employees are so helpful and the coffee is sooo good, so far I've gotten a blonde cold brew with vanilla twice and have tried the chocolate chip scone and galaxy chip cookie, which both have been amazing. Highly recommended! read more
